My Journey

After retiring, I suddenly discovered a new passion for designing, creating and making my own jewellery. I have always loved jewellery, but had never really considered myself to be creative. On one cold evening in January 2010, a friend surprised me - a birthday gift with a difference!We spent the first of many hours in 'Wild About Beads' - a local business in Bridgend (otherwise known to me as the 'bead sweety shop'!). I had my first lesson in making jewellery...and I haven't stopped making jewellery since!My family have been incredibly supportive. They often accompany me to craft fairs and jewellery parties, as well as providing technical support for my website and Facebook page. Lastly, a big thank you to my husband, John. He has encouraged me to follow my dream and never complains about the endless amount of beads and jewellery that now live in our conservatory!

Event Gallery

During the last three years, I have become a regular at a variety of craft events and jewellery parties, as well as organising my own. This event gallery is a collection of memories.
